Topic
1# 3-player + Show Spoiler +
Coppermantis: So this is how I submit a topic for the Map Jam? In that case, I propose the idea of 3-player melee maps.

2# Multiple Xel'Naga Towers + Show Spoiler +
ScorpSCII: Multiple Xel'Naga Towers




Process
Send your idea for an interesting topic to the event's administrator via a private message to Samro225am. Two topics are randomly selected using randomizer.org at the start of the event, and then immediately made official. This way, no "cheating" can occur, and the administrator can technically participate as well.

Make sure you read the How does it work? section as well and feel free to ask additional questions in this thread.



What is the Map Jam & Challenge?
The Map Jam & Challenge is a format by and for the community.
The Map Jam & Challenge is a regular map making competition.
The Map Jam & Challenge wants you to be creative and quick.
The Map Jam & Challenge provokes thinking outside the box.

This is a format developed collaboratively by Samro and Scorp, and was motivated by MotM, CSL Map Jam and the Map Making Challenge.

Why do this?
It is all about challenging your fellow map makers with some strange idea and together do a 24h map making jam that will produce innovative, fun and crazy maps. From this format ideas may emerge that can be implemented to competitive maps - or maybe not. There is nothing to win like beta keys, sorry for that. I have no give aways, no tshirts. Also I do not own this format. This is an idea that i hope can be run by the community itself, without judges, organization, etc.

I know many will appreciate this. Here it is all about making maps. These may or may not be played. This is not the biggest point. We are looking for new ideas in maps and for new ways to make maps.

How does it work?
  • Runs monthly.
  • 24 hours to allow all timezones a few hours. Is held in the weekend to allow the most people to participate.
  • All participants send one topic to the admin via PM, e.g. 'rocks' and 'low main'.
  • By a randomized process two topics are selected among all entries and made public to start the Map Jam & Challenge. This aspects helps to have no 'cheating' like preparing a map to give yourself more time.
  • Within the 24 hours participants post the overview in this thread and upload their map to EU/NA (ask your fellow map makers at EU/NA)
  • Public Vote decides on the winning map. Map makers who think they have the edge in evaluating how good a map is, can post their choice in the thread to have a double-vote.
  • Win = Fun & Fame


Map Jam & Challenge #3
The Map Jam & Challenge starts Saturday, January 12th, 10:00EDT 15:00EST and runs 24 hours. Topics need to be send to Samro225am via PM until one hour before the challenge starts. This gives the admin one hour to randomly select the double-topic. Via PM we will keep all ideas secret and fresh for the next round maybe and the double-topic is quite a surprise for everyone.

Topics will be announced in this thread.

The previous events were administrated by Scorp and Samro. In future events, other community members may administrate as well.

I will accept your first idea.

Coordinator: Crucifixion?
Prisoner: Yes.
Coordinator: Good. Out of the door, line on the left, one cross each.
[Next prisoner]
Coordinator: Crucifixion?
Mr. Cheeky: Er, no, freedom actually.
Coordinator: What?
Mr. Cheeky: Yeah, they said I hadn't done anything and I could go and live on an island somewhere.
Coordinator: Oh I say, that's very nice. Well, off you go then.
Mr. Cheeky: No, I'm just pulling your leg, it's crucifixion really.
Coordinator: [laughing] Oh yes, very good. Well...
Mr. Cheeky: Yes I know, out of the door, one cross each, line on the left.


Remember guys, one topic each!

I really hope that these topics are legit enough to create playable maps, but weird enough to make us do something that we haven't before

Coppermantis: So this is how I submit a topic for the Map Jam? In that case, I propose the idea of 3-player melee maps.

2# Multiple Xel'Naga Towers + Show Spoiler +
ScorpSCII: Multiple Xel'Naga Towers


BOTH TOPICS NEED TO BE COMBINED. RULES IN THE OP

The two topics might not be crazy or sound fun on first sight, but i am sure this will provide input for some interesting and playable maps that could be the basis for more serious competitive maps!


Both topics combined create quite some challenge and I hope no one is put off from the very challenging task!


EDIT: multiple is >1. If you find a way to make sense of two towers on a 3p map you are very welcome to only have two towers, yet you could have six or more as well.
